The new zip line system in Copper Canyon starts with this run across a side valley.

Last year we translated promotional piece for the Chihauhua Tourism Board related to developments in the Divisadero area. When the description of the new zip lines came up, I simply could not believe it- huge and longer and higher than any zip line I had ever seen.

One of the crew arrives at the bottom end of the Copper Canyon zip line.

There are seven stages and they are high…like not treetop high but soaring 500- 1000 ft up high.

The trained crew can give a hand if you happen to come up a bit short at the end of a run.

The seven stages have a bit of a hike in between and at two points you traverse by a swinging bridge- hooked in of course.

Zipping into the bottom station.

Each stage has two parallel lines so you can go in pairs.

The equipment is new and appears to be top quality.

The whole experience takes about two hours, starting at 9a and 1p. The cost is about $50 USD. Tickets are available at the main building at the edge at the top of the gondola and it is usually possible to use a credit card.

As with any adventure experience, you go through the safety checklist before taking off.

The whole system ands at the bottom of the new gondola and that is how you return to the top. On slower days the gondola goes about every half hour 8-5p.

Our guests say this whole zip line experience is excellent and gives a huge view of the canyons.

What a experience… I felt like flying to the sky!! It worth the effort and every single coin you spend to be there. The views from the zip lines and the feeling of the wind against your body along the trip are not descriptible. You must live it!

[…] my recent favorites was a zipline adventure that included a walk on suspension bridges to cross the Copper Canyon (an area four times the size of the Grand Canyon). The adventure is located just south of the […]

Click here to ask a question or get more info. One common question people have is if this is a hiking/sleep on the ground trip. Answer: No. We stay each night in small cabanas or hotels, all of which are very clean and include hot water and linens. There is always the opportunity for a good walk, but ground transport is always available.

Most of our trips originate in El Paso and end in Baja.
Now we also have the option of flying directly to Chihuahua City (CUU) to begin our trips. Direct flights from Dallas (American Airlines) and Houston (United Airlines) go daily to CUU.
Guests can return home from Cabo (SJD).
This gives us an extra day in Copper Canyon and smooths the trip as it eliminates the long drive in from El Paso. Call Dave today at 217.369.9897 for details.
